July Update

Things have been pretty quiet on the adoption front. We have had a couple hundred visitors to our website and some have returned at least once. Most have been US visitors, although we had 1 visitor from Canada and one from Italy. None of the visits have generated phone calls or emails yet.

We received our stats from IAC for June the other day. We had 7 letters sent out to potential birth mothers as part of packets of letters that were sent out. Mike figured out that there were 24 packets sent out in June where we met the requirements of the birth mother (out of 34 total packets). So 7 out of 24 times, she saw our letter, which is just over 1/3 of the packets. We also had 2 online requests for our letter in June.

Please keep sharing the link to our website with friends and relatives. You never know who might have a friend or co-worker interested in adoption. The website is www.iheartadoption.org/users/chrisandmike

Oh....we also had 2 calls on our baby bat phone, the cell phone that is specifically designated for birth mother phone calls. Both were telemarketers! Oh well!

Thanks for all your support, thoughts and prayers! They are greatly appreciated! :)
